The Whole Enchilada!

Red letter day - it rained ALL.DAY. in Raleigh! All day... like from when we woke up and it's still raining. It was positively awesome... Scott and I were big bums too, playing on the computer and watching Friday Night Lights DVDs. What a wonderful day!

So, this is a really delicious and EASY recipe, and also a family staple!

Chicken Enchiladas
1 lb cooked & cut up chicken (Sometimes Scott will grill it and it makes them extra yummy.)
1 8 oz cream cheese
1/3 c milk
1 4 oz can chopped green chiles
1/4 tsp chili powder (I use a little more.)
1 can enchilada sauce
8 small tortillas (I use wheat)
2 c grated cheese, Mexican mix or Cheddar.

Directions:
Heat cream cheese and milk on low heat until smooth. Add chiles, powder and chicken. Fill tortillas with cream cheese mixture and roll up. Place in 9x13 baking dish and cover w/ 1/2 of cheese mixture. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over enchiladas, and spread the rest of the cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 mins.

We usually serve it with some Spanish Rice (from Old El Paso I think)... and we've been known to wash it all down w/ some margaritas :)
